BUS421 Capstone OL/GS - Which Professor?

[Merlin]

As I mentioned via private mail, Lampman was my capstone instructor and I found him to be a perfectly acceptable teacher. In the GS and OL versions of the course, the instructor really doesn't do a whole lot other than post up the rules and schedule, add a few comments in the message forum in response to student posts, and grade the papers. They will also answer emailed questions, but that is about it.

As far as grading goes... he's hard but fair. If you do the work, you'll get a good grade. I came out with a high A in his course and 100% plus a special recognition for my final paper. So you can ignore anything you've read about him not giving A's... that is likely sour grapes from someone who didn't put in the work to get a good grade.

It won't matter which version of the course you take since they are almost identical. Personally, I find OL is better since you extra credit towards your final grade by just making a few posts and filling in a few questionnaires for the school. The GS version doesn't require the posts, but you have more assignments and the exam and final project are more heavily weighted in your final grade.

Good luck!
